Using Pixelmon Mod for Minecraft
To use the Pixelmon Mod (hereinafter "The Mod", "Mod") on a client, you must have a legitimate, valid Mojang account (Formerly Minecraft account), to which you would have already agreed to the Mojang/Minecraft EULA. Accounts are not associated with us in anyway, nor do we have any control over them. You must obtain your account from the official Mojang website to play. The Mod uses UUIDs ingame for saves and ID to name association, hence attempting to circumvent Mojangs authentication system will likely result in the mod not functioning properly. We will not address this, nor acknowledge it as an issue.

To use The Mod on a server, you must agree to the Mojang EULA regardless of owning a Mojang account or not. When using Pixelmon on a server, you must state that the server is not affiliated with Mojang AB (As per the Minecraft terms), and you must also note that you hold no affiliation with the Pixelmon Mod development team, website or overhead company. We will not take any responsibility for any breach of terms or lawful wrongdoing from public servers, and will, as necessary, provide information to Mojang AB, hosting companies or law enforcement agencies for such acts as requested.
